In comparison to the flower, the yellow center resembles the sun (G205). This suggests a brilliance or beauty about Daisy. Their spacious home is described as having shades of red, white, and cream, and overlooking the bay. This portrays them as a member of an .....

A Certain Hunger
<view this essay>.... to people who have never had to deal with anorexia or bulimia, people with these diseases do not realise the severe mental conditions that they are developing.
When an anorexic person looks in the mirror she does not see a skeleton staring back at her, but the imaginary "fat"she has convinced herself that she has. It is hard to see when a person has gone to "far", because who is to say what too far is, because who knows what the perfect weight is. For that matter,perhaps there is no perfect weight. When a person gets too thin, though, it is not simply enough to tell her that she needs to eat, she knows that she is getting to thin, b .....
